One last thing,

I've mentioned it before and I'll say it again. If you can't handle having to share raid targets with 1 or 2 guilds now, how are you going to deal with 3-5 guilds a few months down the line? Is that going to be enough competition???

I'm pretty sure this server is going to double it's current numbers by the summer time once many are out of school or on vacation, etc...

There are other servers that are dedicated to raiding and as such have multiple raid zones open from many different expansions. They also have huge exp modifiers in order to ensure that people can quickly get to raiding level and join up with a guild or whatever to "slay da dragonz".

That's what I meant.

What the hell would I want to go to one of those dumbass, easy-mode, bahjillion-expansions servers? I've known about eq emu's for years, but I never wanted to play one because luclin ruined everquest. I followed EQC for a while, and when I found out from that IRC that this server was opening, I hopped on board (installed and playing two hours before the beta wipe no less!). I come to this server for the content: classic, kunark, and velious.

This server does not revolve around raiding and the majority of players are not at that point yet. This server is dedicated to giving people a chance to relive the classic 1999 experience. Everybody that comes here knows that. Sure there are raids, but raids are not the main reason this server is here.

How dare you define what makes other people want to come to this server? Who the fuck are you? Just because your dumb ass wants to camp orc1 for lulz doesn't mean that's why everyone else is here. I for one came here to re-experience a raiding rogue. I was in a 2nd tier guild on my server, and we raided everything, but it was always second best. I came here and worked my ass off to be one of the first characters to 50 so that I could be in a position to be among the first to dust off this old content. Specifically, I am speaking of raid content. More specifically, I am speaking of raid content within the constraints of the classic era; I do not want to beat this content with EpixVer5.75 or whatever the fuck they have on the live-like servers, I want to beat this content with a crystalline spear and with others who are similarly constrained.

And sorry, back in 1999 the devs did not simply unlock more raid content because some of the top level players asked for it or complained about lack of raid targets, and nor should it be done here. Therefor, the current situation should come as no surprise to anyone.

In fact, they did. It's called Sol Ro, it's called Hate, it's called Sky, it's called Kunark. They did in fact unlock and make available new content when the player base was bored with current content. You're thinking inside the box, dipshit. Smoke a joint and let your mind wander.

If there isn't enough raiding or "competition" or whatever for certain individual tastes, then they can easily split their time between this server for the "classic experience" and another server for the hardcore raiding and competition they desire. Nobody's stopping anyone from taking a break and coming back as new content is released.

Most people do in fact play on other servers or other games part-time. Nobody is here raising a serious ruckuss about content releases. You're the only one bitching, and you're bitching about something that doesn't exist.

One last thing, to be perfectly clear: my "classic experience," as you put it, is about raiding. You shouldn't try and define other people's motivations by trying to artfully word ignorance.

This brings up another interesting question. To get on the rotation you must have a force that can take the mob. IF in a 24 hour period a guild fails to kill said mob shouldn't they be taken off rotation? This is quite a generous amount of time to kill the mob a guild could easily put 10 attempts in!

[Goobles]

drplump: To get on the rotation, I would assume that the guild would have to first demonstrate their capability to handle said mob(s). If they fail to take their turn, I believe they will have forfeited their turn to the next guild in line. I would like to make a motion that if you forfeit twice in a row, you are taken off the rotation. Same goes for multi-guild raids to make up for lacking numbers.

theory:Scoring brown-eye points with the obvious-assimilators, are we?

People sit here 10 years later and whine over Vox/Naggy/CT kills and talk about Hardcore vs non hardcore.

Baldrik I don't have anything against you and not trying to call you out. but i MUST MUSt say something I see people making these comments all the time on here. I find this statement to be very..idiotic. Let's look at chess for example, a game that is hundreds and hundreds of years old, yet people still play it competitively and seriously. Here we are playing EQ, a game that's 10 years old and people keep saying "y so serious this game is 10 years old zomgz". The age of what we are playing does not matter, what matters is our personalities that state whatever we are doing, we want to be the best at it. Whether it is playing chess - a game hundreds of years old, playing p99 - a game 10 years old, or wiping our asses. Some people out there are competitive and therefore want to be the best at whatever they are doing.

PLEASE PEOPLE STOP BRINGING UP THIS IS A 10 YEAR OLD GAME AND WE SHOULD BE LESS SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

Thanks.

Unfortunately it is kind of outdated,for most gamers new to it.For those of us that did it all back in the day,it is nothing like chess.We all know what Vox is going to do before she does it,even if we have not done it back then.There are neat little inventions called a guide.Also we all know when the game will end...After Velious.

So if it is hard for you to believe some of us wonder why all the hate over a game that has been checkmated years ago......Well lol is all I have to say.

You need to chill out a bit and take a breath,or try a chess match sometime.

So, when a new WoW encounter comes out.. and someone youtubes it the next day, explaining how exactly to do it and what exactly the entire encounter dishes out.. it's now outdated and no longer worth taking seriously?

WoW? That is in no where near as challenging....Unless you are one of them lol.

WoW raiding on an emulated of classic server would be...Yawn...Borrring at best.

You must be making a funny.Thats it you are joking,I get it.
